This two day event will dive into the critical changes to the 2009 International Building Code and the International Fire code.  Both documents are the backbone to the Michigan Building Code and are a must for fire and building inspectors!  Day 2 will take an in-depth look at sprinklers for residential occupancies focusing on multi-family residential setting and include critical information on proper design and installation in hotel and motel occupancies!
